Also known as Musherabeg, Muisire Beg, and Cnoc na Cille, this is another complex site, similar to Knockraheen and Kealkill. The circle was an Irish five stone recumbent, but only the two northern portal stones and a stone at the west stand today, heights are in the range 1.1 -1.3m. The stone row, comprised of two stones both over 3.5m tall, seems to have been aligned on the recumbent, the stone nearest the circle has fallen, and the remaining stone has a pronounced lean. About 7m east of the circle is a radial cairn discovered in 1970, it has small, nearly contiguous kerbs, and is around 3.5m in diameter. Radial cairns are quite rare with only ten known examples in all of Ireland, four are in west Cork ( see also Knockraheen and Kealkill).
